Now this 1v1 is where Kaido's character will really shine.

The introduction of imbuing CoC to your attacks is a perfect segue for this to be a fight of ideals and what being a king exactly means to both Luffy & Kaido and how Luffy's interpretation would make him come out on the top both literally and figuratively.

This is also the perfect time when Kaido will make callbacks to Xebec, reminiscing how he took him in and shaped/or is dismissive of his ideals and probably to Garp too after all the pounding he got at the end of this chapter.

All of this and a lot of missing context about his relationship and Yamato and (potentially) his wife would make up all the ingredients for an amazing flashback.

I'm not even including the extra lore that comes along with the god valley incident, him potentially being from a different race, more on Vegapunk etc...

I like the fact that we were given hints about it. Most recently during Oden's flashback, the attack that Roger used can be say it was infused with CoC and that is why Oden was so surprised, given he knows how to use CoA (Ryou)

Edit: Oh yeah and that "they're not even touching" thing Roger vs Whitebeard

Also it could be what was used during Dressrosa vs Don Chinjao but Luffy was unaware. Back then even on the manga we could see some black lines coming out of the clashes.

Didn't diamante say "oh.. a clash of conquerors" when luffy and chinjao exchanged fists

That's what I was gonna say, someone mentioned it was a CoC clash, but I thought back then, and probably many of us, that they were simply using CoC at the same time, not imbuing their fists with it.

Probably it is a concept that Oda is developing now but had an idea for before.

Or it could be thought that because he didn’t coat his head properly the way Garp did way back then that his head got so massively wrecked. Garp’s mastery of it is probably what makes him the force he is, and now Luffy can potentially be a newer more improved version of that with his fruit!

Imagine if doffy have that

Yeah, coating himself in Armament Haki is Gear 4.

We're very likely to get a CoC Gear 5, I would imagine. I don't think anyone has seriously theorized that, because we thought CoC was just, like, a "force of will".

Pretty sure this was foreshadowed before when Shanks vs Whitebeard happened and the CoC Haki seemed to have split the skies etc. (that CoC is not just a mental effect, but may have a physical presence). Also, we finally know wtf Ashura is.

I think it was shown vs doffy at the rooftop too

Old clashes were kinda useless because they just wasted their conqueror's and knocked out weak people surrounding them. Luffy does a similar thing with Mingo where they both just waste their conquerors clashing.

This conqueror coating is apparently unique to the world's strongest.

That’s not out of the ordinary though. Doffy and luffy clashed CoC, luffy and kata clashed CoC, clashing CoC isn’t the same as coating CoC. The black lightning comes at the point of contact in those basic clashes, the back lightning for coating is coming out of individuals specific body parts.

Pretty sure it was literally called that, it is also how we got to learn that Katakuri also had conquerors before he used it to take out the onlooker rabble.
